Prevent delays and keep streets clear for snowplows and equipment by removing collection bins from the curb
Subzones 3 and 4 will be active for snow removal operations Feb. 17 - 21, with on-street parking restrictions in effect.
Subzones 1 and 2 are relaxed. When subzones are relaxed, on-street parking restrictions are not in effect and vehicles may park on the street. Subzones are typically activated on a bi-weekly schedule, with Subzones 1 and 2 expected to be active the week of Feb. 24 - 28.
Watch for no-parking signs
Snow clearing and removal will continue on primary, secondary and tertiary streets. Temporary no-parking signs will be placed 24 hours in advance where snow removal is scheduled on streets not included in the WMZ program.
After 24 hours, on-street parking restrictions will be in effect and parked vehicles must be removed from the street until the signs are taken away.
Expect to see crews at work on the following streets:
- Signal Road
- Silver Springs Drive
- Sifton Avenue from Silin Forest Road to Silvertip Place
- Thicket Drive from Sifton to Silvertip Place
- Sitka Drive
- Simpson Way
- Rowan Street
- Rosslyn Street
- Timberline Drive
- Woodland Drive
Snow Shoveling reminders
Residents are responsible for removing snow and ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property within 48 hours of a snowfall. Please do not shovel snow onto the street or into the middle of a cul-de-sac. This can cause problems with garbage and recycling collection, create large ruts and may block storm drains. Also, avoid burying fire hydrants, as it can make them difficult to access in an emergency. Shovel snow to the sides of your driveway instead.
